Leslie The Poodle Papers Page 3 The Poodle Papers Official Quarterly Newsletter of The Poodle Club of America Summer 2010 2008-2010 OffiCerS & COmmiTTeeS President’s message: President:Helen Lee James 1st Vice Pres.:William Cunningham In past issues of The Poodle Papers, the President’s message has almost always been positive, 2nd Vice Pres.Susan Burge upbeat, and full of good cheer. And probably sincerely so. And while I remain positive, I am not Corres. Sec.: Kay Tripp [email protected] full of good cheer. Record. Sec.: Joyce Carelli Treasurer: Scott Olund Our present Bylaws have come about as a result of the recognition of the necessity for clear, Variety Representatives Toy:Joan Scott timely, and honest communication between the Board and the membership, and now with the Mini: Nancy Hafner availability and practicality of electronic means, we have this ability but are not using it to the Standard.: Joan McFadden benefit of our membership. Publicity: Luis Aizcorbe AKC Delegate: Mary Ellen Fishler If we refuse to follow our Bylaws as required, we must be held accountable. Show Committee Chairperson: Glenna Carlson Assistant Chairperson: Arthur Foran At this point, we have reached an impasse in regard to the publication of the April Board Meeting Performance Events minutes. Differences of opinion have occurred, and AKC expects us to work it out. It involves two Obedience Chairperson-Ann Mandlebaum Performance Events Agility Chairperson- motions passed by the Board members present, one by secret ballot Debbie West WC/WCX Working CertificateChairper - Article VI, Section 4. Board Business b). Reporting to Membership, states: The Corresponding son- Joyce Carelli Secretary shall ensure that business conducted by the Board is “made available” to members Public Education Coordinator within 30 days. Items that may be excluded from such availability are: Nancy Hafner 1). pending legal matters Judges Education 2). pending discipline matters Nancy Hafner Affiliate Club Council: 3). sensitive business matters Susan Burge 4). personal matters PCA Foundation: Exec. Director Tom Carneal I suggested to the Board that the subject of the motion voted upon by secret ballot and passed PCA Foundation: Coordinator_ Mike Wahlig could, by executive order, be deemed a personal matter, with no additional detail published. The PCA Poodle Rescue Central: second motion, passed by all Board members present, was objected to, at a later date, for whatever Sally Poindexter personal reasons, also came under dispute. [email protected] Poodles in America: Therefore, due to a lack of response from a sufficient number of Board members, the motion to Editor:Betsey Leedy Retired approve the minutes was withdrawn, with no further action taken. However, there have been two Breeder Referral: interesting suggestions (motions) made by Board members. The first was to “omit” the two mo- Poodleclubofamerica.org tions from the minutes, and the second was that these two motions already passed now be “tabled.” Connie Green-314-997-2711 Regrettably, both motions are out of order, based upon Roberts Rules of Order Revised. PCA Home Page Lisa Wolfe [email protected] In regard to my committee appointments, there is little to report that is positive. Nonetheless, there www.poodleclubofamerica.org is always room for compromise and negotiation, and we will continue to work toward that. PCA Information Hal Kinne My objective is to have committees made up of experienced and seasoned PCA members with [email protected] respected breed knowledge and good communication skills, members who have the ability to The Poodle Papers evaluate people as well as issues for both the present and long term, and members whose main Layout & Graphic design objectives and decisions will always be determined by what serves the best interests of our dogs. Editor: Leslie Newing Email: [email protected] One positive is an increased interest in our performance events. We are so fortunate to have a PCA Email list breed that actually thinks, and we should encourage them to do so. When we find it challenging [email protected] to reach common ground with people, it is time to appreciate our dogs even more.
